EpicWorldModel: Exploration-driven Planning with Latent World Models

Bowen Feng, Julian Ost, May Mei +2

Latent world models based on Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) are deterministic by design. While successful in fully observable scenarios, this paradigm breaks down w…

ScenarioControl: Vision-Language Controllable Vectorized Latent Scenario Generation

Lili Gao, Yanbo Xu, William Koch +8

We introduce ScenarioControl, the first vision-language control mechanism for learned driving scenario generation. Given a text prompt or an input image, Scenario-Control synthesiz…

ChopGrad: Pixel-Wise Losses for Latent Video Diffusion via Truncated Backpropagation

Dmitriy Rivkin, Parker Ewen, Lili Gao +5

Recent video diffusion models achieve high-quality generation through recurrent frame processing where each frame generation depends on previous frames. However, this recurrent mec…

WorldFlow3D: Flowing Through 3D Distributions for Unbounded World Generation

Amogh Joshi, Julian Ost, Felix Heide

Unbounded 3D world generation is emerging as a foundational task for scene modeling in computer vision, graphics, and robotics. In this work, we present WorldFlow3D, a novel method…

VERDI: VLM-Embedded Reasoning for Autonomous Driving

Bowen Feng, Zhiting Mei, Julian Ost +5

While autonomous driving (AD) stacks struggle with decision making under partial observability and real-world complexity, human drivers are capable of applying commonsense reasonin…

Inverse Neural Rendering for Explainable Multi-Object Tracking

Julian Ost, Tanushree Banerjee, Mario Bijelic +1

Today, most methods for image understanding tasks rely on feed-forward neural networks. While this approach has allowed for empirical accuracy, efficiency, and task adaptation via…

Neural Point Light Fields

Julian Ost, Issam Laradji, Alejandro Newell +2

We introduce Neural Point Light Fields that represent scenes implicitly with a light field living on a sparse point cloud. Combining differentiable volume rendering with learned im…

Neural Scene Graphs for Dynamic Scenes

Julian Ost, Fahim Mannan, Nils Thuerey +2

Recent implicit neural rendering methods have demonstrated that it is possible to learn accurate view synthesis for complex scenes by predicting their volumetric density and color…
